Adoyo

What we know so far

Adoyo is a Yoruba market drink, yellow and sour-sweet, brewed from omidun, the sour water poured off the top of freshly made ogi (fermented corn pap), boiled for an hour with pineapple (flesh and peel), lemongrass and sliced citrus (lemon, lime or orange), then sweetened with a light caramel of burnt sugar and drunk cold with ice or warm like tea. Lagos market women sell it as a tonic against malaria and typhoid; everyone else drinks it because it tastes of pineapple and lemongrass.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
